Strength

I wrote something very intriguing in my journal this morning: "I feel empowered and scared at the same time." It really feels like an oxymoron. How can one be empowered and scared at the same time?

There are many different things on my plate right now and it is definitely forcing my hand in connection to change. Each day brings me one step closer to the day. And the fear, right on track, is connected to the unknown. I don't know the responses from the people these changes will impact. There is fear in that. At the same time, I am making the decisions that I know in my soul are what I need to do...for me.

It also feels like this is connected to what is to come after the changes go into effect. There is that sassy "s" word...success. What is my attachment to success? How is that thought interfering with the journey of the unfolding? How does that challenge my perception of me? Do I have the indomitable will to stay focused on me and my vision and allow everything and everyone else to receive as they are able?

There is obviously a lot more for me to explore, but at least I now have a foundation. I stared at a blank journal page after writing the sentence above.

I also believe strength is connected to courage, conviction of the heart. The more strength and courage are entwined, the more indomitable the will. All of which, I believe, connect to my highest intention. This isn't about the strength to force my way through an uncomfortable situation. This is about the strength to be true to me...and allow myself to blossom, just as the picture shows.

May you also be tapped in to your own strength, courage and indomitable will. You have more than you think you do!
